No peace can last, or ought to last, which does not recognize and accept the principle that governments derive all their just powers from the consent of the governed, and that no right anywhere exists to hand peoples from sovereignty to sovereignty as if they were property.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
Excesses accomplish nothing. Disorder immediately defeats itself.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
To do things today exactly the way you did them yesterday saves thinking.
Woodrow Wilson

They [the children] live in a world of delightful imagination they pursue persons and objects that never existed they make an Argosy laden with gold out of a floating butterfly,--and these stupid [grown-up people] try to translate these things into uninteresting facts.

Woodrow Wilson
Image
Every great man of business has got somewhere a touch of the idealist in him.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
No thoughtful man ever came to the end of his life, and had time and a little space of calm from which to look back upon it, who did not know and acknowledge that it was what he had done unselfishly and for others, and nothing else, that satisfied him in the retrospect, and made him feel that he had played the man.
Woodrow Wilson

To think that I, the son ofthe manse, should be able to help restore the Holy Land to its people.
Woodrow Wilson
Image
The history of liberty is the history of limitations on the power of government, not the increase of it. When we resist, therefore, the concentration of power, we are resisting the processes of death, because concentration of power is what always precedes the destruction of human liberties.
